US president Donald Trump <\/a>has hit back at Canada after a breakdown in negotiations plunged the two countries into a trade war.<\/p>\n

In his first public comments since talks collapsed on Friday in Washington, the US president wrote on social media: \u201cCanada wants the benefits of being a State, without being one!!!\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThey have also charged our great farmers, for many years, massive amounts of tariffs,\u201d he added. \u201cNo more!!!\u201d<\/p>\n

His comments came after the US imposed 50 per cent tariffs on $20 billion (\u20ac17 billion) worth of Canadian goods, while Mark Carney, the country\u2019s prime minister, has vowed to match them \u201cdollar for dollar\u201d.<\/p>\n

The US tariffs came into force on Saturday, ranging from hockey sticks to tongue depressors. Trade experts have predicted that the tariffs could result in some job losses, but the biggest impact is expected to be political, triggering fresh tension between the neighbours.<\/p>\n

Both sides blamed the other for the breakdown in talks. Carney told Canadian journalists that the country was \u201cat war\u201d over trade with the US, after Trump \u201cmiscalculated\u201d by escalating his tariff attack.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou\u2019re at war when you\u2019re attacked, and we got attacked,\u201d he said in Ottawa. \u201cWe cannot accept what they\u2019ve offered and we will not give what they\u2019ve asked.\u201d<\/p>\n

US trade representative Jamieson Greer has said the US was compelled to act after a year of retaliatory measures by Canada. He told Fox & Friends Weekend: \u201cWe\u2019ve said enough and so we\u2019ve taken countermeasures. Our interest is in protecting American workers and protecting American supply chains.\u201d<\/p>\n

Carney, who previously served as governor of the Bank of England, was elected as Canada\u2019s PM last year after campaigning to lead a fightback against Trump, who has previously suggested he wants to make Canada a 51st state with \u201ceconomic force\u201d.<\/p>\n

Carney\u2019s \u201cdollar for dollar\u201d tariffs are expected to take effect from September 8th, with new levies on steel, dairy, appliances and electronics. The escalation has also called into question the future of the North American trade pact between the US, Canada and Mexico, known as USMCA.<\/p>\n

The pact, which was signed by Trump during his first term, governs about $2 trillion annually in goods and services between the three countries. Trump refused to renew the USMCA this summer after Canada and Mexico formally requested that it be renewed for another 16 years.<\/p>\n

When asked how the US-Canadian collapse in trade talks would affect the USMCA, Carney replied it was \u201ccertainly not good news\u201d.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"US president Donald Trump has hit back at Canada after a breakdown in negotiations plunged the two countries…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":652968,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[41],"tags":[9,10,995,13,14,6,11,12,15,16,15847,5,7,8,6221,384,65,66,67],"class_list":["post-652967","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-world","tag-breaking-news","tag-breakingnews","tag-canada","tag-featured-news","tag-featurednews","tag-headlines","tag-latest-news","tag-latestnews","tag-main-news","tag-mainnews","tag-mark-carney","tag-news","tag-top-stories","tag-topstories","tag-trump-presidency","tag-united-states","tag-world","tag-world-news","tag-worldnews"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@ie\/117147386896600710","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/652967","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=652967"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/652967\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/652968"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=652967"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=652967"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=652967"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
